WASHINGTON, June lit is noticed with

other national banks, while those of Omaha, st.

place where two-thirds of the national banks
would join in and make the request of the treas

that there is in Chicago clearing house to which
the smaller national banks have been denied
admission. AS the reserve bill be-

banking institutions in Chicago, and the small

of fish. They replied, through their representa-
tives. that they were not particularly anxious TO
join in. If they signed the petition at all it
would be only after they had been admitted to
membership in the clearing house. This caused
a great deal of CONSERVATION but the bigger
concerns were not disposed to give in to their
smaller and poorer relations As there were
more than one-thrd of the national banks in
Chicago outside the clearing-hou the others
found themselves unable to comply with the
terms of the act, and they were unable, in con-
sequence. to enjoy the benefits of the law. In
the meantime the banks of other cities have
been able to reap the crop of reserve funds
